Congregation Beth Elohim enthusiastically welcomes new members. We hope you’ll consider joining our vibrant, growing community. Scroll down to learn more, or click here to view or download a PDF of our membership form.
For nearly 150 years, our congregation has been serving the Brooklyn community with a dedication to the Jewish values of learning, service and acts of loving-kindness.
We strive to be a diverse, warm and hospitable place for our members to form new bonds of friendship and reach out to make the world a better place. We come together and support each other in moments of celebration as well as sorrow. We consider each encounter to be an opportunity for blessing and enrichment along life’s journey.
We are a learning community and as such education is often at the center of what we do. We offer a worship experience that is rooted in the intellectual tenets of Reform Judaism. We provide an open and experiential educational program for children from early childhood through B’nai Mitzvah and beyond. We also have a dynamic adult learning program that is led by faculty from across New York City.
In addition, our Early Childhood Center and After School Programs serve not only the congregation, but also the broader Brooklyn community, making us a genuine hub in Park Slope for the 21st century.
